of_o man_n to_o convert_v or_o come_v to_o christ_n i_o speak_v unto_o in_o this_o branch_n and_o man_n unwillingness_n in_o the_o next_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v have_v both_o the_o can_v and_o the_o

must_v needs_o acknowledge_v they_o have_v lose_v somewhat_o by_o it_o we_o have_v lose_v the_o power_n to_o will_n which_o he_o have_v nay_o some_o say_v that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o power_n of_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o of_o conversion_n in_o lapse_v man_n he_o shall_v seem_v to_o have_v a_o great_a power_n than_o adam_n as_o the_o power_n to_o rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a be_v great_a than_o to_o act_v life_n when_o a_o man_n be_v alive_a i_o hold_v it_o to_o be_v but_o a_o trifle_a objection_n which_o be_v make_v upon_o design_n and_o this_o be_v the_o design_n upon_o which_o it_o be_v make_v for_o clear_o to_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o any_o thing_n be_v to_o know_v the_o thing_n itself_o to_o oblige_v god_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o covenant_n with_o man_n fall_v to_o give_v forth_o universal_a grace_n because_o this_o faith_n in_o christ_n this_o repentance_n be_v not_o lose_v in_o adam_n who_o can_v not_o lose_v that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o neither_o be_v we_o to_o pay_v for_o that_o we_o take_v not_o up_o in_o he_o therefore_o god_n be_v engage_v to_o give_v to_o man_n a_o power_n to_o believe_v because_o he_o have_v make_v a_o new_a covenant_n with_o i_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o enable_v i_o to_o be_v responsible_a to_o the_o covenant_n that_o he_o have_v make_v this_o objection_n amount_v to_o no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o adam_n can_v

and_o a_o fall_n if_o man_n say_v he_o can_v not_o look_v to_o the_o serpent_n on_o the_o pole_n i_o answer_v true_a because_o neither_o have_v the_o fiery_a serpent_n sting_v nor_o be_v the_o

of_o the_o fitness_n of_o the_o matter_n the_o scripture_n seem_v to_o speak_v punctual_o to_o the_o point_n no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o i_o john_n 6._o 44._o the_o natural_a or_o animal_n man_n by_o

erroneous_a may_v be_v try_v so_o in_o this_o point_n of_o conversion_n of_o man_n and_o discriminate_a grace_n if_o any_o man_n blow_v the_o bladder_n as_o well_o as_o the_o trumpet_n to_o make_v

suppose_v a_o power_n to_o be_v or_o to_o have_v be_v because_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o command_v thing_n absolute_o impossible_a to_o which_o there_o never_o be_v power_n give_v and_o therefore_o man_n disability_n to_o perform_v any_o command_n arise_v accidental_o when_o he_o have_v disable_v himself_o and_o this_o be_v call_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o
